AGARTALA, May 25 (TIWN): Rural India yet to felicitate with development schemes virtually even after 70 years of the independence due to inactive participation of various states in the country, left a major portion of the country undeveloped, without source of income. The rural job by NREGA working days was an initiative to push the workers in Govt works with their minimum benefit, but the project aim was reversed due to RD corruptions across the states. RD scam comes in the first row, led the incomplete projects, limited water bodies, loss in domestic production. If NREGA funds could be utilized well, then massive development could be caused across the nation, but in Tripura it's often seen a person already having a pond, being a false beneficiary of MGNREGA enjoys the central fund showing the 'old pond as new'; Congress MLA Birjit Sinha also filed case in High Court against which High Court has called SIT for inquiry. Apart from that rich people having MGNREGA job cards are also nothing new for Tripura.

In this condition, Central Govt has decided to track the works by various means as geo-tag, Asset ID creation etc. However, a video conference has been call on Thursday for Tripura on "Research Studies Commissioned under MGNREGA", that is related to the utilization of NREGA funds.

Along with Tripura, Andrapradesh, Chattrishgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Meghalaya, Odisha, Rajastan, Tamil Nadu, Telengana, Tripura, West Bengal, Hariyana, Sikkim and Bihar.

Wage-pending of workers were resolved with the direct beneficiary system had launched and the wages began to felicitate the workers' accounts directly, but in case of Asset creation, Tripura resulted a big zero led the oppositions to raise question, "If highest in mandays why no work development in Tripura"?
